Songtext Dark alleys Crocodiles

Dark alleys

Walking like a limp I felt so empty hearted
And soon departed to some strange room
Where hung only pictures of you

I saw my twisted face on those walls too
I heard corrupted voices passing through

Caresses and distresses all at once,
They tore at me, I couldn't turn away

I followed them through streets I'd never known
Although the houses had a stare,
Familiar and murderous to bear

They led me through the wild, haggard night
They tried to tell me I was too uptight

Caresses and distresses all at once,
They tore at me and then I turned away

Hey you!
When with lust I do pass through
The dark alleys of my heart,
I never fall apart
I always think of you
You protect me from myself
My eyes become like glass;
I can shatter and caress
The shards against my heart
And all the love comes spilling out
And the waves wash away
All the sickness and decay
And then I fall in love with you
